We are making a compilation of songs with sun or sunshine, in the title or featureded prominently in the lyrics.

Your Breeders example fits but 2nd not. I thought maybe the lyrics feature "sun" very well - nope, it talks about moon. I'm going to ask you - what is the reason behind your Sade choice? Since it isn't what donald outlines above.

I had either forgotten or never really took in the "prominently" in the OP.

Wow. I feel like getting a "good job" from you is worthy of champagne! (not the good stuff). I even took about 6 songs out because I saw they were repeats. And I looked back just now and am not observant enough still to find more. I did my best!

Finally got around to getting 'Begin' by The Millenium. Let's see how I go.

Could track 1 (Prelude) be the first hip-hop track ever recorded?

It's dull to these ears. "It's You", bonus track "Blight" is worth checking. "To Claudia on Thursday" is amusing. Maybe "Anthem". I absolutely woudn't advise it to people to show what "sunshine" music is.

It could be. If it is, not a big honor.

I tried it a few months ago myself and think it's fantastic. Maybe not perfect, just because the good stuff is so good it makes the weaker songs all the worse, but I reckon "I Just Want to Be Your Friend", "5 A.M.", "It's You", and especially "There is Nothing More to Say" (which might now be one of my favourite songs) all deserve a spot on any sunshine pop collection. I've been off on a bit of a sunshine pop phase and it's led me to finding a lot of great music that I'm late to the party to (including Eternity's Children, and also A Midsummer Day's Dream by Mark Eric, which is wonderful).The Sandy Salisbury solo album is pretty awesome too... it has a very fun cover of "With Me Tonight".

Did you read the whole thread before posting, john? Enya, Chemical Brothers, Misunderstood were mentioned.

You know, it's very bizarre you never posted here while you do in Rap even though it's not your thing. Care to explain? Like, everybody listens to music & there may be some songs with "sun" in title. Then why not post them here, for chrissakes? It's very easy.
